Background & Purpose

The state needs to allocate funds annually for societal planning, housing supply, construction, and consumer protection to ensure sustainable growth and support for households.

Proposals & Debate

The government proposed distributing just over 6 billion SEK within expenditure area 18 for 2024. The proposal includes funding for rental housing, energy efficiency in apartment buildings, and consumer policy.

The Decision

The Swedish parliament approved the government's budget allocation after a vote where the majority supported the proposal.
